did red hot chili pepper cover sweet home alabama?
Q. which album is this from?
A. Only live, they did not record it however many covers have been recorded.... and here they are!
A few cover versions have appeared, notably a slowed-down rock version by Big Head Todd and the Monsters, as well as a more faithful version by the Charlie Daniels Band and an altered version by the country group Alabama (who changed the lyrics involving the Watergate scandal with a verse talking about Alabama football). This rendition was included on the 1994 tribute album Skynyrd Frynds.
Other covers include:
-Spanish band Siniestro Total did a popular cover of this song called "Miña terra galega", in a reference to their homeland Galicia.
-British Nazi punk/Rock Against Communism band Skrewdriver has covered this song on their fifth album After the Fire.
-Hank Williams, Jr. performs this song on his 1987 live album, Hank Live.
-Argentine band Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota (a.k.a. Redonditos de Ricota or Los Redondos) play a song titled "Caña Seca y un Membrillo", which has a big likeness to "Sweet Home Alabama".
-Jewel recorded a cover version of the song for the movie Sweet Home Alabama.
-Killdozer covers the song on the Touch and Go Records compilation God's Favorite Dog.
-In 2005, Universal Recording artists Boyz After Money Always (B.A.M.A.) recorded a rap remake to the classic rock song. B.A.M.A.'s version reached #16 on the billboard hip-hop singles chart and went on to sell over 150,000 ringtones.
-Canadian jam band The Clumsy Lovers included a version on their CD Under the Covers.
-The University of Alabama's Million Dollar Band plays it as an unofficial fight song for the Crimson Tide.
-Kid Rock's 2008 song "All Summer Long" "samples" "Sweet Home Alabama" on the chorus and uses the guitar solo and piano outro; Billy Powell is featured on the track. "All Summer Long" also samples Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London", which has similar chord progression to "Sweet Home Alabama". Since Kid Rock's release, the original song has charted in the UK charts at number 44.
-ApologetiX did a parody titled Sweet Oholibamah on their album Adam Up.
-The Geto Boys borrow the guitar riff on a version of their notorious "Gangster of Love".
-Menachem Herman, a Jewish performer based in Israel, produced a cover called "Sweet Home Jerusalem".
-Argentinian songwriter-singer Charly GarcÃa produced a cover called "Sweet Home Buenos Aires".
-Enrique & Joe from WRTO-FM made a parody of the song titled "Sweet Home Hialeah".
-"Weird Al" Yankovic did a cover of the song in one of his concerts
Why is there no e sharp or b sharp or c flat...?
Q. I'm not looking for the obvious and simplistic answer that e sharp is f. That is obvious. The question is why is our notation that way.
We could have named the notes 1 through 12 for each half step. We could have a a#, b, b# (our c) etc and just used used a through f#.
There are a myriad of other possibilities such as using quarter steps etc. But the question is how did our scale get set the way it did.
A. The system in place is about as streamlined and unencumbered as it gets. Hundreds of years later, no one has been able to best it.
Seven letters, raising those note names a half step is sharp, lowering a half step is flat.
On a keyboard, E# is the half-step above E. It is the sound equivalent of 'F' The reason it would be E# is to better keep track of being in a Key (seven note tonal scale) and 'musical grammar.'
So to directly answer, there is a sharp of each letter name and a flat of each letter name. If the keyboard was an even row of alternating black white, it would be nearly impossible to tell at a glance which is what.
The keyboard is also laid out because of the nature of the hand, there is a history of why it is the way it is, but I'll leave you with this, which makes it plain. With that grouping, the highly visible two black notes and the three black keys, it is dead simple to keep track of where any 'A' or 'Bb,' etc. is in any octave.
Numbers alone would give us no reference as to key, the relationships between notes, or chords.
I imagine reading piano music, which has all the simultaneous elements of harmony and melodic materials, would become a mere chart of 'where to put your fingers down' and make no other musical sense to the reader. It is much easier to have all that in a context, thus the letters, scales, and basic alterations are clearer, and actually less data to 'track.'
There are scales used in other cultures, more tones, less tones, microtones. Some would argue that one is more 'organic' than the other, and try to prove it by numbers or acoustics. The only universally recognized 'musical truth' is the octave, which is present in all those different scales no matter what culture and or when they arose.
The rest, unpopular but true.... it is all arbitrary, a set of conceits that everyone has decided to agree upon :-)
Best regards.
